2ـ أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الأشْعَرِيُّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سَالِمٍ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ النَّضْرِ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شِمْرٍ عَنْ جَابِرٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) قَالَ دَخَلَ رَسُولُ الله (صلّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) عَلَى خَدِيجَةَ حِينَ مَاتَ الْقَاسِمُ ابْنُهَا وَهِيَ تَبْكِي فَقَالَ لَهَا مَا يُبْكِيكِ فَقَالَتْ دَرَّتْ دُرَيْرَةٌ فَبَكَيْتُ فَقَالَ يَا خَدِيجَةُ أَ مَا تَرْضَيْنَ إِذَا كَانَ يَوْمُ الْقِيَامَةِ أَنْ تَجِيءَ إِلَى بَابِ الْجَنَّةِ وَهُوَ قَائِمٌ فَيَأْخُذَ بِيَدِكِ فَيُدْخِلَكِ الْجَنَّةَ وَيُنْزِلَكِ أَفْضَلَهَا وَذَلِكِ لِكُلِّ مُؤْمِنٍ إِنَّ الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ أَحْكَمُ وَأَكْرَمُ أَنْ يَسْلُبَ الْمُؤْمِنَ ثَمَرَةَ فُؤَادِهِ ثُمَّ يُعَذِّبَهُ بَعْدَهَا أَبَداً.

2. Abu Ali al-Ash’ariy has narrated from Muhammad ibn Salim from Ahmad ibn al-Nadhr from ‘Amr ibn Shimr from Jabir who has said the following: “Abu Ja’far , has said, ‘The Messenger of Allah went to see Khadijah when al- Qasim, her son, had just passed away and she was weeping. He then asked her, “Why do you weep?” She said, “My milk flows out thus I weep.” He then said, “O Khadijah, will you not be happy when on the Day of Judgment you proceed to the door of paradise and he will come to you, hold your hand and lead you to the best of the dwellings therein and such (reward) is for every believing person? Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Glorious, is best honorable judge. He would never take away the fruit of the hearts of believing people, and make him suffer thereafter in any way or form.””’
